BAKER, Martha P.

Age 85, of Hanover Township passed away on Thursday, April 14, 2022, at her residence surrounded by family. She was born in London, KY, on July 3, 1936, the daughter of Virgil and Ann (Bowling) House. In May 1954, she married Cecil Baker in Liberty, IN. Together they celebrated 62 years of marriage. In 1969, Martha

became one of the first female real estate agents in Butler Co. later to become the broker and owner of Martha Baker Realty. Her passion and sincerity led to the success of the business that her daughters will continue to operate. As a devoted mother and grandmother Martha cherished time with the family. She was known to many as an excellent cook that

enjoyed nothing more than regularly bringing the family

together for good food and laughter. One word we used to describe her was "giving" she was happier giving than receiving. She freely gave of her love and time to others, a trait passed to her that will continue for generations to come. She is survived by her daughters, Roxane (Jim) Leitsch, Penny

(Michael Bales) Brown, and Kim (Rick) Yerigan; her grandchildren Jason (Shauna), Lee Ann (Danny), Jimmy (Jenny), Jessica (Mike), Rick (Kate), Bobby (Christine); great-grandchildren Amber, TJ, Ryder, West, Carson, Colton, Beatrice, Eleanor,
